This dump cake is a delicious combination of fruit filling and a cobbler-like crust made with a boxed cake mix. Our recipe tasters loved the combination of juicy whole berries and crisp topping. This berry dessert is best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Use a combination of your favorite berries here. We chose blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries, but strawberries or cherries would be equally delicious.

Keep Screen Awake

Ingredients

  • 1 (21-oz.) can blueberry pie filling

  • 3 cups fresh or frozen raspberries and/or blackberries

  • 1 (2-layer size) pkg. white or yellow cake mix

  • 3/4 cup salted butter, sliced into 24 pieces

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries and/or blackberries (optional)

  • Powdered sugar

  • Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 3-qt. rectangular baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

  2. Pour pie filling into baking dish. Stir in 1 cup raspberries and 1 cup blackberries. Spread into an even layer.

  3. Sprinkle cake mix over filling. Arrange butter slices evenly over cake mix. Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly. Remove and cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm or cool completely. Top with fresh berries, if desired, and dust with powdered sugar. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.
